Hautefort, Dordogne

This property is for those who enjoy peace and quiet in rural surroundings. The accommodation and garden are as you would expect a rural property to be, relaxed and very French. There are plenty of local attractions within half an hour and further afield to keep you occupied should you want to venture from the pool. The owner is very helpful and invisible, unless you need help. Our family holiday could not have been bettered, shopping was easy and local, tourist sites excellent and we were afforded peace and quiet in comfortable surroundings. Aug 2011.

Nice pool and great location, within easy reach by car of many attractions. Aug 2010.

The owner was very helpful throughout our stay. Aug 2009.

Superb accommodation provided privacy for parents and adult children plus offspring. July 2008.

The owners were charming, friendly, helpful & generous - esp. with food - some sort of treat every day! Beautiful joinery, well equipped. My only caveat, that the kitchen is over organised, and only room for one person - but I feel guilty mentioning this. Sept 2009.

The property is in a lovely Perigourdine hamlet and the owners who live on site are extremely friendly and helpful and Monsieur can speak a little English. Country walks around the hamlet and a good base to tour north Dordogne. April 2008.

The property contained everything you could need. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful and willing to help you learn French if you want to. They have a very good knowledge of the area and will help you plan walking or cycling routes. And they are happy to accommodate bicycles in their garage. June 2008.

The owners were the perfect hosts - absolute privacy if desired but friendship and support when discussing places to visit, history, folk tales, local community, in fact just about any subject! We had such a brilliant holiday, ease of booking, description of accommodation and magnificent countryside, we definitely didn’t want to come home! Sept 2008.

A taste of France served by two superb French hosts. June 2006.

The property was fantastic and absolutely nothing would have been too much trouble for the owners who were lovely. We would highly recommend this property. July 2006.

Peyrignac, nr. Terrasson (W14826)

Terrasson

A characterful and well appointed barn conversion with a lovely pool set in a peaceful and very rural location (about 2.5km from the village)but with very easy road access. It’s location makes transport a must but it is ideal if you just want to get away, relax and enjoy the countryside and pool. We went in late September during a heatwave and found the pretty village of Peyrignac very quiet, possibly due to most of the locals having gone on holiday. We liked the French farm style furnishings, enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the sun and eating on the terrace or under the trees. Some of the photographs don’t do the justice this property deserves. A great place for those looking to relax and recharge. Sept 2012.

Fantastic friendly owners, location was stunning and plenty of areas to walk near villa. Local market in Terrasson on a Thursday morning, well worth a visit, along with a visit to the musee de chocolat near by. The pool was fab and a godsend in the hot weather, we found respite in the local restaurant in the village for lunch. Here a four course set menu of local produce and dishes cost just 52 Euros for four and that included wine, water and coffee. It filled us so much we didnt need an evening meal. On the whole the villa is 5 star, the owners fab and location stunning. Aug 2012.

Fantastic property, and ideally located in a quiet hamlet surrounded by forests and fields with wonderful walks, but also suitably near to local shops and not far from major roads that link to many attractions in the local area. However a car is a must! The property was perfect in every way, and topped off with the private use of the swimming pool, well presented gite with all the mod cons to match. June 2012.

Nailhac, nr. Hautefort

A very comfortable and welcoming cottage, and the owners were very nice and helpful. Sept 2011.

Peace, perfect peace! Well situated to access all places of interest eg: Dordogne river, caves, towns, chateaux. Fulfills your idea of a typical French gite. Don’t forget the binoculars, birds are wonderful around the gite. June 2011.

A Gem of a Gite. Sept 2009.

Very attractive property with friendly English speaking owners. Great terrace with an excellant view. Sept 2009.

The views from the terrace are stunning. The accommodation is spacious and tastefully furnished. June 2009.

This was the nicest holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. It was a real home from home in terms of equipment and furnishings, with lots of homely, comfortable extras. The view from the terrace was ’to die for’ and the owners were very friendly and approachable without being intrusive in any way. They even brought us fresh grapes and figs from their garden. Altogether a lovely holiday in a long-standing favourite area of France. Sept 2008.

An excellent holiday in superb accommodation with hosts who were kind and helpful but not intrusive. Sept 2008.

A charming cottage in a very peaceful location, with plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area. The owners were most helpful and welcoming. July 2007.

A very nice spacious property, in a lovely quiet location, the pictures on the web site not really giving the full beauty of the location. The owner is very friendly and on his daily visit to clean the pool in the evening would often ask us to taste his latest locally produced beverage. If you want a relaxing holiday away from it all then this is for you, although there are local attractions not too far away, Hautefort Chateau, Caves, and especially recommended is "L’Appel de la Forêt" 15 mins away, which I can only describe as an adventure park through the tree tops which the kids (and myself) enjoyed a lot. Aug 2011.

Lots of room, very clean and excellent owner with helpful information and lots of local colour a true gent of the old school - fantastic. July 2011.

It was a fantastic property, perfectly clean and well supplied including a dishwasher and washing machine which was a godsend with a 3 year old and a 10 month old. The house was in a lovely location and was brilliant for anyone seeking peace and quiet whilst being near good facilities and travel routes. The owner was really helpful and the pool couldn’t have been cleaner! Aug 2010.

Everything exceeded our expectations. Complete tranquillity, very well presented accommodation and a very pleasant and helpful owner. Would perhaps have benefitted from larger fridge/freezer for 6 adults but otherwise fantastic. Would highly recommend. Aug 2010.

The setting was lovely, the space in the gite was excellent particularly the downstairs rooms. The garden was smallish and shared but there was private space at the back. The pool was smallish but still great fun. The host was very friendly. We loved it. July 2010.

It was remote and rural and had lovely views. Clean and tidy with little personal touches. July 2010.

Very clean, comfortable, flowers, wine and nibbles to welcome us. May 2010.

Spacious and situated in a beautiful scenic region. Quiet and peaceful. May 2010.

I think the property was better than the pictures. July 2009.

Somewhere quiet to get away from it all, excellent views and very close to popular places like Hautefort, Sarlat and the famous Lascaux (UNESCO) cave. Good views, daily cleaned swimming pool, close to great places. Aug 2009.

Puy Redon, nr. Hautefort (W13825)

Puy Redon, nr. Hautefort

Private swimming pool

Dordogne

This detached barn conversion is tucked away at the end of a country...

A lovely cottage which has a pool with stunning views across the valley. May 2012.

A great cottage very relaxing. The owners take a great deal of pride in it. Fantastic location. Recommended. July 2011.

Quiet location and friendly owners. Fabulous views and good sunny patio area with pool. July 2010.

Very lovely area, & the property was perfect for our requirements. June 2010.

Quiet location, and owners left us alone for week. Patio was a real sun trap and lovely to sit facing west into late evening watching the sun set. Pool was absolutely freezing however, and could not go in even in a winter wet suit. Sept 2009.

The site is wonderful, and it’s very pleasant to have a swimming pool just next to the house. It’s a shame, though, not to have a larger outdoor table, larger sun umbrella. July 2009.

The only let down for the whole holiday was the weather, I think we had all four seasons in the week, clear blue sky, rain, hail, wind and thunder storms, but we will still go back. The dark sky framed by the house is a picture to behold, the Milkyway especially. May 2009.

Pretty, quiet, comfortable cottage but very remote. Few nice local walks around the hamlet, otherwise Hautefort is reasonably close but other places of interest are quite a way away. Owners very helpful but not intrusive. It would have been nice to be able to walk to a restaurant or bar, we would go again because of the remoteness. June 2012.

It was a home from home, peaceful, tranquil, it really was bliss, and nice to have no internet for a change. Mr and Mrs Green were very accommodating and ask if we required the pool that day and recommended local shops etc. We came back really relaxed. Sept 2011.

The cottage was spacious for us and had an excellent pool and garden. We liked the patio where we could sit out for meals. There were plenty of chairs for us to use and the owners very kind and helpful to us. Sept 2010.

Charming cottage in a very quiet location. The cottage had all the facilities that we required and expected. July 2010.

The cottage was exactly as I expected. June 2009.

A very secluded spot, very restful. The salt water swimming pool was excellent. Aug 2009.

The property was in a lovely location and the owners very friendly. The terrace outside the property was nice and private. Unfortunately we only got to use the pool once due to the weather, but it was lovely! May 2008.

The property and location are excellent and the owners are friendly and very helpful. Aug 2008.
